Landed in Sydney tonight. It's a police state here to say the least. Choppers buzz overhead continually and what can only be described as "packs" of cops loiter around.
A bit overcast and drizzly, so no photos yet. Pretty horrid train ride to get here so I'm bushed. I'll probably try the security zone after this post and see what it's like, then tomorrow the day starts with some goofy green actions.
Really early in the morning off to Bondi beach to make some sort of human banner, and then in the afternoon we're going for a world record mooning. I guess it's not Oz unless there's a naked bum in there. I don't really like green actions, and I certainly didn't come here to partake in them, but the reality is that I am going to be pretty constricted in my choice of protest and will have to take what I can get. The authorities sure are spoiling for a fight...
For a quick idea of what this whole APEC thing is about, I'll refer you to the always amazing Aussie comedy team, The Chasers.
Oh, and they were just arrested for pretending to be Canadians and sneaking all the way into the exclusion zone. They figured no one would really bother to check. Gorgeous.
I'll post tomorrow night after a day of silly democratic foolishness.
Love,
Nick
